Chapter 15: The Nine Iron Laws

Liu Chan was somewhat sympathetic to the people in front of him.

Owning the land and means of production themselves, and doing nothing can extract thirty percent or more of their labor income.

Just to feed and feed the hope of the future, fool them into working for themselves, and they are still grateful one by one.

What a simple people, they have enough to eat, they have a little hope for their lives, and their lives can be sold to you.

The career has just started, and the conditions are limited, so I can only do this.

But it doesn't matter, when the strength grows in the future, the living conditions will get better and better.

If Hu Li and the others knew what Liu Chan was thinking now, it was estimated that the joy would be replaced by horror.

The lord is not lightly ill, and he must be cured.

After a little emotion, Liu Chan said in a more stern tone: "In addition, there are still nine iron laws, all of which have been written in the barracks, and you need to watch them every day and write them down."

"1. Those who deliberately disobey the orders of the superiors, damage our military aircraft, and disturb the hearts of our troops will be beheaded!

"2. Those who rob the people's property without permission, or borrow it and do not pay it back, even if it is a grain of corn, will be beheaded!

"Third, the battlefield capture needs to be handed over, and those who hide it without authorization will be killed!

"4. Whoever forcibly violates a woman or a woman shall be beheaded!

“……”

Subsequently, Liu Chan also proposed not to beat and insult the people, not to insult and abuse the troops, not to force the people to buy and sell, not to destroy the people's crops without orders, and even not to drink alcohol during the march and battle, a total of nine iron laws.

Different from Fang Cai's leniency and benevolence, some of these nine iron laws are very trivial in the eyes of the bandits.

Even the officers and soldiers in many places will do it.

After winning the battle, go to the village to find a few beautiful women, and everyone will have fun, isn't it normal?

If the grain and grass are not enough, isn't it normal to go to the villager's house to "borrow" some food?

Why did you get to Liu Chan here, it's all a big sin of losing your head.

Some bandits don't understand.

However, due to the favorable conditions offered by Liu Chan earlier, although they did not understand, they would not complain.

Only Hu Li was thoughtful at this time.

He finally understood why this army had not committed any crimes along the way when escorting his own bandits.

And Lao Luo, the captain of Bai Yu's personal guard behind Liu Chan, was a little angry in his heart at this time.

The monthly money and food of these people are not as high as those of their own elite soldiers, but the difference is not big, and they are much higher than ordinary soldiers.

And the other treatment is really good......

As far as he knew, most of the other soldiers would be paid more or less deducted from their salaries.

There are very few people who can do the full amount of actual issuance, which is almost the unwritten rule of this era.

But the young lord is paid in full every month.

Why did they take so much money and food from the young master?

Just these people, not to mention that there are more than a dozen of them attacking at the same time, and killing them is not a problem.

Why do they get such a good treatment, and even join the regular army and still be called brothers and sisters with the young master?

Lao Luo has no opinion on the young master, on the contrary, he admires this young man very much.

How Liu Chan went from having a name in the void to accumulating to his current net worth, he saw it all.

As a result, the young master himself did not enjoy it, but spent it on these people.

He didn't understand why the young master spent energy, money and food to train these people, and some of them were not worth it for the young master.

……

After gossiping, the selection officially began.

After several practices, today's selection process is much simpler than when Liu Chan first made it.

Many of the ideas he took for granted but were not suitable for today's times have been eliminated in practice.

"Li Er, let's start."

"Yes, all over here!"

The first step is to ...... Physical examination.

The bandits were dumbfounded when they saw several healers sitting in the field.

Liu Chan attaches great importance to the health of Bingyuan, there was no way at the beginning, but now that he has the conditions, he naturally has to do a physical examination.

Although it is not as strict as the conscription physical examination in later generations, some people with congenital deficiencies still have to brush it up.

You can't fight before you fight, and you can train a few to die first...... The bereavement treatment given by himself will be a blood loss.

Weakness, dark diseases, eye diseases...... More than 20 people with various problems did not even pass the physical examination, and they were eliminated.

They begged Liu Chan to give him a chance, and they didn't even want to be compassionate when they couldn't bear the training and died, but unfortunately they were directly dragged out by the reserves......

Seeing the miserable appearance of more than 20 brothers being dragged away, with a handful of snot and tears, the rest of the people cheered up.

Later selections included bowing, archery, horseback riding with a lance, and running in armor.

This is the first part, and after a short break, there will be another two parts of the test.

"Hard, haven't you eaten?!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The soldiers who were selected to be in charge of the assessment were training these bandits in various venues.

The suffering they had endured back then was now finally inflicted on the recruits, and they were all extremely excited.

It didn't take long for the school yard to erupt in screams, wails, and roars.

In fact, the selection has been improved many times, and the standards set are not too high.

Those who can open 2 stone power bows ten times are qualified.

Make 4 bucket battle bows, 20 steps away, 10 shots or more than three qualified.

(Because the Han Dynasty is lighter than the later dynasties, one stone and one bucket are lighter than the Tang and Song dynasties)

Riding a horse with a horse lance, after riding 1 mile, the person who has not fallen off the lance is qualified.

Wear 30 pounds of armor, run two miles with the leading soldiers, and those who are not left behind are qualified.

The bandits thought that everything was difficult at the beginning, as long as they passed the selection, they would be fine in the future.

Encourage each other.,Bring out all the strength of breastfeeding.。

The reserve members of the "invigilator" were sneering.

Hehe, is everything difficult at the beginning? When you get past the first step of this beginning, you will realize that every step in the future is more difficult than that.

……

After the bandits took turns to be assessed, it was almost noon.

In this assessment, more than 50 people were eliminated.

Although the physical fitness of these people is much stronger than that of the first batch of displaced people, there are still many people who cannot meet Liu Chan's standards.

Almost one-fifth of them were eliminated, Liu Chan didn't blink his eyes, and it was always his principle to raise this team rather than indiscriminate.

When the homeless people were first recruited, thousands of people participated in the selection, and dozens of people were selected, which is nothing.

The more than 170 people who finally passed were secretly happy and excited.

However, there was one person who was a little unexpected to Liu Chan, and that person was Hu Li.

He expected that this person's grades would be better, after all, he was the leader of the bandits, and the limited food would definitely take precedence over him.

At the beginning, Hu Li also learned some ring-head knife techniques with his father, and he was also able to ride a horse.

Even when he rode the horse and ran, he deliberately stabbed a few times, which seemed to have spare strength.

But what surprised Liu Chan the most was his archery accuracy and arm strength.

Archery shoots ten shots, retreats to 50 steps, and still has seven shots out of ten.

100 steps, 10 shots and 4 hits.

I didn't expect this kid to be quite talented in archery.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to guard the gate of the village when he attacked the village suddenly, otherwise there might have been some casualties.

Then test your strength again.

This guy is easy to open ten times with 2 stone bows, and Liu Chan changed 3 stone bows to him out of curiosity, but it is still not a problem.

Finally stopped at 3 and a half stones.

This is not training, and the arm strength is no less than that of a qualified archer.

It is worthy of being a person who can increase his physique.

Supplement nutrition, train, and maybe make a name for yourself in the future.

But when I fought with myself, I didn't think he had much strength.

Could it be that his strength has risen again?

Liu Chan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the three-and-a-half-stone power bow.

I haven't tested my strength for a long time, so I just try it here, and I was able to open a maximum of 3.5 stone bows at the beginning.

With the bow in hand, Liu Chan's face was not red and his heart was not beating ten times.

"Good!" The onlookers couldn't help but cheer.

Hu Li was also more convinced, he was restrained by the lord's trick at the beginning, and he was not wronged.

Liu Chan, who felt that he still had strength left, said again: "Change the 4 stone bows." ”

At this moment, the faces of the people around him were a little wrong.

Especially newcomers.

How old is the lord? Fifteen or sixteen years old at most.

Want to open a 4-stone bow?

They didn't know that Liu Chan was only thirteen years old......

Liu Chan, who had taken a 4-stone bow, gave it a try.

Well, this one is a bit hard to drive.

"Hey!"

Exhaled and opened his voice, and with his chest and arms in full swing, Liu Chan opened ten more times.

Even greater exclamations and praises erupted.

The cottage was broken and Hu Li was made too fast, and many thieves didn't see Liu Chan make a move.

Now I know that my own lord is not only good at commanding others to fight......

With this strength, a big mouth came over, and he didn't fan his teeth away?

A sense of awe arises.

Liu Chan looked around and said with a smile: "What are you doing in a daze?" The martial arts selection has passed, and there are two more anthologies. Just go! ”

"Huh??"

Wen...... Anthology?

There are more than 170 bandits who have passed the martial selection, and they can't spell a complete word together.

The thieves really don't know how this strange little lord will choose them.
